Description

The central argument is that while the rationale underlying the SPS Agreement's science-based framework is questionable, the resulting rules are not only the most appropriate means available for dealing with the conflict, but provide countries with more flexibility than critics contend. However, if the WTO is to command legitimacy among the public, panels and the Appellate Body must adopt a more principled approach to disputes than they have to date. The importance of health protection requires recognition that measures 'necessary' to protect health will respond to more subtle situations than those presenting a clear and serious risk. They must accept that in many cases science is indeterminate and does not provide definitive answers as to the necessity of a health protection measure. Such cases require recognition of the validity of public opinion as a consideration in domestic risk analysis processes. Recommendations are made as to how panels and the Appellate Body should proceed in disputes under the SPS Agreement, and how governments can comply with their trade obligations while remaining responsive to public concerns. The Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) allows Members to enact SPS measures necessary to protect health so long as they are based on scientific evidence, thus restricting their regulatory freedom in critical domestic policy areas concerning the health and life of humans, animals, and plants. This thesis asks whether the SPS Agreement allows for an appropriate balance between conflicting domestic health protection objectives and trade liberalization objectives. This question has attracted controversy among academics, policy-makers, and civil society and is particularly topical given public demands to be heard on decisions concerning regulation of new technologies, such as genetic engineering. This thesis establishes a normative basis upon which to balance health and trade objectives. This benchmark is used to critique the rationale for the SPS Agreement's science-based framework, and the panel and Appellate Body's interpretations of its provisions. Finally, the thesis explores the potential for international regulatory harmonization to reduce tension between health and trade objectives.
